However, once in Dallas, they met up with a group of other young men, including an ardent sportsman by the name of Andrew Jameson.
Jameson, of the Irish whiskey family, regaled them with tales of hunting buffalo out in West Texas. It proved irresistible. The eight men left Dallas on Jan. Elliott recorded in his diary for Jan. But such an abundance of raw meat attracted unwelcome guests. On one occasion, Elliott and John were caught out in the open with a herd of bison stampeding toward them. Waiting until the bison were in close range, they split the herd by shooting the animals directly in front of them as the others thundered past.
Another almost fatal incident took place when Elliott was charged by a huge bull he had just wounded. Barely able to reload his rifle in time, his shot broke one of the front legs of the bison, causing it to crash to the ground directly in front of him. However, only about a week after they had arrived, someone raided them at night, stealing most of their horses.
Although they suspected it was a Comanche raiding party, it was more likely that their fellow buffalo hunters were to blame. The next day was no better.
